They made useless conversation
As they gathered to be warmed
Around the chimney top of City Hall
Till one small one said
"Let's take one more round
Swoop in perfect circle one and all"
And though it was not cold enough
To see mist from the chimney rise
The clouds were gray, slow and thick
Hanging low beneath the sky
A nod and shift then lifting up
In unison yet out of form
They circled up and out then home
To the same spot they returned
They looked from side to side
Watching each other's faces
Wondering nothing meaningful about the day
And though crowded as they were
All fit around the square
And I'm sure I heard another small one say
As they gathered to be warmed
Around the chimney of City Hall
"Let's take one more round
Swoop in perfect circle one and all"
